NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Authorities said 25 people were shot during a 48-hour period over the weekend in New York City.

Among the boroughs, only Staten Island emerged without a shooting report.

The attacks include three fatalities on Sunday, another three on Saturday, a triple shooting in Prospect Lefferts Gardens and a shooting in Bedford-Styuvesant that left an 11-year-old girl severely injured.

A 15-year-old girl was shot in the leg on Kelly Street in the Bronx on Saturday night. Police said they were looking for 23-year-old Raheem Simon in connection with that shooting, 1010 WINS’ Juliet Papa reported.

Tayloni Mazyck, 11, was shot in the neck Friday evening at Gates and Throop avenues in Bedford-Sty when police said 17-year-old Kane Cooper opened fire at two other men.

In the wake of the shootings, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly ordered an increase in police presence around affected areas – including more uniformed officers at public housing developments, the deployment of Skywatch towers and mobile TerraHawk camera vehicles to areas where the incident happened, and the deployment of plainclothes officers during shooting-prone hours.

“We’re going to have Skywatch towers that are equipped not only with cameras, but also have police officers in them,” NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon. “In the areas, it gives them kind of a high ground, literally, to see from a distance what’s happening.”

Meanwhile, Warrants Division personnel will focus on the nine commands that experienced multiple shootings this past weekend, and pick up suspects without standing warrants. Browne said those people might have valuable information that can keep people safe.

Police are also monitoring gang activity in case of retaliation.

“If we pick up any intelligence along those lines, we’ll try to intercept them,” Browne said.

“Including this weekend, last week we had the fewest number of shootings in any week in almost a decade. Think about that: including this weekend. That’s how safe the city has gotten,” Bloomberg told reporters, including WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb. “Now, one weekend with very hot temperatures. We all know that when the temperatures get up there, people’s temper gets shorter and the crime rate does seem to go up. And certainly, one shooting is one too many but the bottom line is, including this weekend, we have the lowest number of shootings that we’ve had in a decade.”

The mayor added shootings are down by about a quarter this year compared to the same time period last year, and last year saw a record low number of shootings.

Bloomberg also took the opportunity to praise the NYPD and to reaffirm his support for stop-and-frisk by saying he’s not going to take from the police the tools that have driven the murder rate down, Lamb reported.
